I was on Ancestry and I linked this one relative back and back generations, eventually to knights of the garter, royalty and all kinds..only to find out it was a wrong connection from other people's trees, It was a Crosby instead of a Crossley. Gutted
I've got my links back to the Fazakerley family from the Huyton area from about 1645 which is pretty amazing. In fact apart from my irish mothers side which is all Irish, i have been amazed that most my ancestors are still from the Liverpool area back to the 1700s.
There, I've moved it to a forum where you can all chat more easily.
I just checked my earliest date was the Lawrenson siblings born between 1702 and 1706, baptised in Huyton, but obviously at that date I have a query - are they mine? Probably I believe but difficult to be 100% certain.

I had an Isle of Man tree going back to about 1600 based on others' research, copying/sharing etc from years ago. A few years ago I spent a lot of time on trying to prove the earlier details and the dates didn't fit and there wasn't enough evidence for the earlier details so I took out all those ancestors that were suspect. I left the tree in the 1700s. My earliest is a Liverpool and environs ancestor, Christian Martin born on 24 November 1701 and baptised at St Mary's West Derby on 26 November 1701.
